On Oct. 18, Trump announced that the Department of Interior had developed a “plan to build a World Class Championship Golf Course on the site of the current East Potomac Golf Links.” He went on to say that the course would close on Nov. 15 to undergo renovations, which would take 15 months to complete.
“These posts present a problem for the Government,” Reyes wrote in the decision. “They indicate that the Washington National Plan is final and that [the National Park Service] will close the Park to implement it.”
Reyes barred the government from closing the park and golf course through Nov. 28, or until further order from the court. Repairs remain permitted under the existing injunction, and the court will continue to assess claims that renovations would make the park less affordable and less accessible for its intended users.
In October, Reyes signaled growing distrust of the defense lawyers on the case when she ordered an ethics investigation into them. She repeatedly expressed frustration with seeming contradictions between what the President was saying about his plans for the golf course and what DOJ lawyers were telling her in court.
Trump’s posts put DOJ lawyers in an awkward position, he says, and undermine their credibility in court.
Despite the fact that his Truth Social posts helped inform the latest decision against him, Trump returned to the platform Sunday to attack the judge’s ruling while asserting that his Administration would immediately appeal her “highly destructive and political decision.”
It is the latest in a series of examples showing that Trump’s social media posts can become courtroom evidence that works against his own Administration.
How Trump’s social media posts become evidence in court
During Trump’s first term, it became clear that his social media habits could inform court outcomes when he attempted to defend his proposed travel ban, which prevented individuals from certain countries from entering the United States.
“That's right, we need a TRAVEL BAN for certain DANGEROUS countries, not some politically correct term that won't help us protect our people!” Trump wrote on June 5, 2017.
The case was also consequential because the court also cited then-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s public confirmation that Trump’s tweets were considered official presidential statements.
Trump’s transgender military ban: October 2017
In an Oct. 30, 2017, ruling in Doe v. Trump, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly mentioned Trump’s tweets in opposition to allowing transgender service members in the military.
Kollar-Kotelly found that the abrupt Twitter announcement, without the usual deliberative process, provided additional support for the plaintiffs’ argument that the ban was not driven by genuine concerns about military effectiveness.
The pattern continued into Trump’s second term. In May 2025, Judge Beryl Howell struck down an executive order targeting law firm Perkins Coie with restrictions affecting security clearances, government contracts, and access to federal buildings.
Howell found that the post supported the conclusion that the executive order punished the entire firm over one person’s conduct, pointing toward retaliation rather than a legitimate national security concern.
Trump’s Harvard funding cuts: September 2025
The university eventually sued the Trump Administration for the $2.2 billion funding freeze it tried to impose for failing to meet its criteria, initiating President and Fellows of Harvard College v. United States Department of Health and Human Services.
On April 15, 2025, Trump wrote that Harvard “should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting 'Sickness?'”
On Sept. 3, 2025, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled in Harvard’s favor, citing Trump’s posts in finding that his stated concerns were “untethered from antisemitism” and instead focused on the university’s perceived political orientation.
Trump’s withholding of SNAP benefits: November 2025
In Rhode Island State Council of Churches v. Rollins, small businesses and nonprofits challenged the Department of Agriculture’s suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during the government shutdown.
On Nov. 4, 2025, he wrote that SNAP benefits “will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!”
“This Court is not naïve to the administration's true motivations,” McConnell wrote in his decision.
